Smoke bacteria... Hmmmm. I use Simple Green and Spray Nine but I took the entire headliner out. The car has 365000 of windows up smoker use as a courier driver. 2000 Sunfire SE grey interior.

I have used Simple Green to remove "Dead Body" smell it requires removing the interior painting the floor pans and metal parts. Once soaked in simple green let it bake dry in the sun. Next rinse and baking soda blast.

don't forget to turn on your car's air vents when doing the odor bomb, it cleans the air/heat's vents aswell!!! :) but well done!
